Romaurie Effect: Genesis.svcd

Video Description:
In 2004 I tested a linking system for 2 aquariums with copper tube.When I found it worked, I set to construct 1 in 1/4" glass.At the time, no CNC cutter was available locally so all joints are silicone.The long inside stretch is almost impossible to apply a corner fillet.Fortunately there were no leaks on the cross section.Only the front and rear upright sections were a problem.It took 3 attempts to seal them.When I made the vacuum to fill, small "silvery" air bubbles would be sucked in indicating the leak.These I marked with a felt tip, emptied and dried the water and put a small dab of silicone on the spot.
Even before I had sealed it 100%, I put a "White Cloud Mountain Minnow" in and it swam straight into the horizontal section.I then placed the tunnel onto the 2 small aquariums, applied the vacuum, and "Bobs yer firkin".
I was always under the impression that the maximum height of water from a full vacuum would be 30 inches or 76cm as this is how our refrigeration guages are callibrated to indicate a full vacuum.I "Googled" this fact and found a formula to calculate the maximum water lift by a full vacuum.It would appear to be in the region of 27 feet!
Now I don't propose to build one that high.But now there is a glass cutter in Eilat with the latest CNC glass cutting machinery,I am tempted to try out someting bigger.
A point of interest: Eilat has 1 of very few "Underwater Observatories" in the world.The company I work for has the air conditionong/refrigeration maintanence contract for it.
When you're trying to fix an A/C unit next to an aquarium with a "Freckled Frogfish in it" I find it takes a lot longer to fix.
